Ibibio or Akwa Ibom people , which one?

bitbillionaire:
People must at least start somewhere sir. Your reasoning is paradoxically backward even though your are trying to create an impression of being 'progressive'!

Sholaco:
I pray that ipob/ESN would not set it ablaze. Useless people

NkanAkpanika:
Which state governor does that ?

NkanAkpanika:
They will surely

NkanAkpanika:
But why?

deepdeep:
More like saying naija progress na anti clockwise

house10s:

n lets hope buhari doesn't lay his hands on it

MALIGNANTGuest:

At this rate this man will turn the state into the first real state in Nigeria. The rest are just centred around allocation. I have to give kudos to this governors if all his projects making the news are real.

CodeTemplar:
Imagine if they did even quarter. Lagos is just using flashy project to mortgage the future of Lagosians. The others are largely dependent on allocations save for few like Kebbi and Gombe that are trying.

The first automobile was produced 140+ years ago. Over a century later, a country of 207m (NPC) people is celebrating ASSEMBLY plants.

If the black race is not caregul, she will become laboratory specimen in the future to come. This is not been derogatory. The earth is dying. The serious ones are looking for the possibility of inter-galactic species. And technology is advancing at a neck-breaking pace, yet we are faced with this 'mundanity'.

To those who doesn't know what is happening in the world, which is one of the tactics of the black leaders, to maintain an ignorant population, you might think this is progress. The continuous existence of humanity is premised solely on knowledge. Not the kind of knowledge that currently exists in Nigeria; where tailoring, frying puff puff etc. are the ultimate knowledge. Where engineering student would be a king if he could repair generators. Life has gone beyond procreation and physiological needs.

Thanks for educating that dude. 70% of Mercedes Benz parts are outsourced from outside Germany. Manufacturing isn't for unorganized society like ours. The only organised aspect of public life here is corruption.

nick50:
Politicians always looking for ways to loot money...tell me where in the world that vehicle manufacturing plants / assembling plants are owned by government

maldino:
Nice one...Very remote area though..Hope there is plan for security

CodeTemplar:
The highest we contribute is raw material. We lack capacity to produce competitively. That's why FG has to block import before it empowers private people with forex to start producing any notable commodity. That's how Dangote and BUA rose.

ThickSharon123:
I'm Ghanaian, my mom is Igbo. So in Nigeria I'll say, I'm an Igbo woman.

Beancounter94:
It has nothing to do with black inferiority

1. To have a successful automotive industry you need lots of small scale manufacturers who would make the varied components that go into a car. That is rendered problematic by the disdain most Nigerians have for technical and vocational education as well as the fact that people prefer to set up businesses selling imported stuff

2. You need power to run 24 hours a day. But when Nigerians celebrate people who refuse to pay their bills and the government chips in by running policies of price controls that prevent power companies from making a profit, ( and anyone pointing that out is an oppressor apparently) you get poor power.


3. You also need a well.funcitioning education system. Here in Nigeria we don't pay the kind of taxes and the kind of fees that we need to adequately fund education so as a result our educational system does not work properly.

Specimens for the black race..... small time Dem go chop the money finish

Ironically it's the citizens of these western countries innovating not the governments .

Heard Nigeria is the most liberal capitalist country in Africa for trade, so where did all the innovators go?, guess they're watching bbn , chasing everything in skirts up and down, arguing about socio cultural divides in the west lol.

Between, Nigeria doesn't even have to innovate yet, just capitalise on simple scalable ideas. How come we don't have a Zara , Primark copy in Nigeria. What about the likes of after pay that allows people to buy on credit, crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter etc .

Just scalable simple thing's would do for now, assembly lines ain't bad either as it doesn't prevent new business models.

Yep we might end up as a laboratory experiment.

lexy2014:
Like u said, 70% of parts for Benz come from outside Germany which is import which d German govt didn't block. So d Nigerian govt doesn't need to block import. So if u say that "We lack capacity to produce competitively", shouldn't building capacity be d focus instead of blocking imports and rewarding political patrons who turn themselves to monopolies?
